This includes issues associated with the suspension, dismissal, or reinstatement from any College of Creative Arts’ program.
The overall charge of the Committee will be to uphold the academic standards of West Virginia University, the College of Creative Arts, and the three Schools of the College. Membership of the CCA Academic Appeals Committee will include one faculty representative from each of the three Schools within the College and the Associate Dean. Any decisions rendered by the CCA Academic Appeals Committee is considered to be fair, thorough, and final.
